Classic Arbes (Chickpeas) לכבוד שבת קודש

Let's make simple. Some call it arbus, some call it, some call it chickpeas. It's a condiment that many eat together with a chicken soup. There are some people who if they don't have it on shabas, their shabas is broken. Let's work with 250 g of dried gizero beans, chickpeas. First, we need to soak it in water overnight in the fridge. Then, we rinse the water. We put the beans in a pot with water. The beans should be covered with water about 2 in above. Let's bring it to a boil. Once it's already boiling, let's lower it to a simmer. Let's let it simmer for about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Then let's add 1 tbsp of sugar, 2 tesp of salt, and depending on how spicy you like it, put between 1 teaspoon to 1 tbsp of black pepper. I also put some pepper flakes. Give it a stickle mix and bring the pot back to a boil for another 15 minutes so all the seasonings can get into the beans and really incorporate it. After 15 minutes, it's done. Delicious, hish, soft, warm. Albas could be eaten hot or cold. But a lot of people keep it warm on the hot plate for shabas for the chicken soup cuz they don't want that the ar should cool off the chicken soup for sure. And we all know that hot chicken soup on Friday night is very important. Here we have it. Delicious arases. It came out so good. Yum, yum. For you and your family.
